CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 380

Near the end of a sprint, the IT systems were taken down for a critical patch, and the team was inactive for four hours. The team members are concerned they will not be able to complete their tasks before the end of the sprint.
Which of the following BEST describes how the Scrum master should assist the team to finish on time?

Answer options

• A. Bring the additional resources to help complete the work.
• B. Add the uncompleted work to the product backlog.
• C. Move the work to the next sprint.
• D. Inform the team members they will need to work longer hours.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because bringing in additional resources can help expedite the completion of tasks that were delayed. Option B is incorrect as simply adding the work to the product backlog does not help the team finish on time. Option C is not ideal since moving work to the next sprint delays progress, and option D may lead to burnout without addressing the core issue of the delay.
